Google Chrome runs Silverlight

Silverlight

Very strange indeed. I thought Google Chrome would never run Silverlight 2. Silverlight 2 is still in beta and I've not seen work from Microsoft to support Silverlight in Google Chrome. I even didn't need to install anything. Good work I think for the Silverlight team or Google Chrome. Besides this, I've used Google Chrome for a few hours, and I do like it. The interface should be intuitive, in my opinion it really is intuitive. I also like it's minimalistic approach. There seems to be no support for plugins written by third parties. I hope this changes soon, because I really would like a Delicious plugin like the one for Firefox.

@unruledboy:

You're quite right. The updating of the screen is horrible. And input by keyboard and mouse is almost not available.

we have to wait for a few months, or even over 1 year to expect it improve.

Google reverse engineered (parts of) Windows ;-) At the moment I do not know how much of Windows is RE, but I expect quite alot. And, because Google used Mozilla as one of its fundaments it isn't very strange SL works in a certain way ;-)
